Buy UK gilts on yield spike
UK political instability from a Labour leadership challenge could cause gilt yields to spike. If the 10-year gilt yield rises more than 50 basis points from current levels (around 4.5%), it becomes an attractive buying opportunity because a policy reaction (fiscal tightening or rate cuts) would follow, similar to the Liz Truss episode.
